Check out the recap, "Big Data Better Have a Big Heart," and, to see the many, many tweets, scroll through the #HRTechChat Episode Thirty-Five Slideshow Rewind below.

Last week's #HRTechChat was all semantics. "What's the Difference?," we asked, and you answered with a torrent of tweets about the unnecessary vs. inescapable meanings of workforce management vs. talent management and technologies for each and both. Are your tweets in the #HRTechChat Episode Thirty-Four Slideshow Rewind? Click on that link, to see, or on the image below.

In the meantime, please join us today, Friday, Oct. 12, at 2pm ET / 11am PT for #HRTechChat Episode Thirty-Five: "Big, Bigger, Biggest #HRTech Data." ADP is our guest host to chat all about the promise Big Data holds for leaders in human resources. Guiding our discussion will be Robert Mattson (@RMattsonADP), director of marketing for ADP’s Talent Management division, and several members of his team. Consider joining us.

Games with semantics never really changed anything. It's all just words, right? Fools! Of course words matter, and today's #HRTechChat, "What's the Difference," looks at the semantics that have created what may have always been an artificial partition separating technologies for workforce management and talent management. Please join us on Twitter at 2pm ET / 11am PT today, Friday, Oct. 5, for #HRTechChat Episode Thirty-Four. In the meantime, do you think a tweet or two of yours might be in the slideshow from last week's #HRTechChat, "They Used to Pick Up the Phone for That"?
